Say No To Homophobia-My Immortal

Love is love no matter what be the gender.
Stamp out homophobia in the world today.

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school.
It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didnt have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.
Peace&Love,
Octy,

@MRAWE5OME You story does upset me, and I am so sorry about your friend.

In the end, the world needs you.

The world needs people to stand up and make homophobia extinct.

I hear such horrible stories about people taking their lives because of it.

We need to stand tall, not give up.

We can change the world, but we all need to be around to do it.

As long as you have love and compassion in your heart, there is nothing wrong with who you are. It doesn't matter who you love, just embrace that you love

@xxxxsonnyxxxx thanx...you're right, if we all fight together we can stamp out homophobia

[xxxxsonnyxxxx]

@MRAWE5OME Exactly, that's why we all need to be here to do that and be proud and know that there isn't a single thing wrong with us. I dream of a world where my brother can hold his fiance's hand and not be scared someone will attack them.

@theprettyduke May I point out that some of the most important or famous people in the world are gay? Ellen Degeneres. Adam Lambert. Even a couple presidents were said to have been closeted homosexuals. And you just want it to go away?

it's not a choice. no one choses discrimination. It's like skin colour. You dont chose it. You are born with it.

Love is love. Why does love, of all things, have to be so hated?

[GrimRavenmoon]

There is nothing wrong with the gay community. Who cares what they like to do in their beds. They have alright to love eachother just as much as a straight couple. I suport gays, les, bis, and trans people. They are just another person that can be friendly and loving. I have friends who are gay and bi. My husband's mother loves another woman. It fails to bother me. Say what you want, but nothing will change my standing on these people. I willing fly a rainbow flag.

@yourboyken The sick fuck also let his son get killed. What does that say about what kind of leader he is? I'd rather roast than serve an asshole like your "God". Do us all a favor kid, don't reproduce, save the gene-pool from future pricks like yourself. And if I'm not mistaken, he also said "He who sheds man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed". So according to your own logic, we'll be seeing your fascist ass in hell too.

@oshera59 I love another guy, got a problem with it? Come get me kid. 5260 Teardrop PL, Colorado Springs,CO 80917. Not every homosexual person is feminine, and not all of them are scared of insignificant pieces of shit like you. If you think you're hot shit, get at me. I'll gladly show you otherwise. As for the rest of you, be proud of who you are, fuck anyone that says otherwise. There is nothing wrong with you.
